Lead Writer Confirms Dedicated Single-Player Campaign for Titanfall 2
During an interview with Forbes, Titanfall 2's Lead Writer Jesse Stern has confirmed a dedicated single-player, as well as a spin-off TV show with Lionsgate Entertainment.
Among other details, Stern confirmed that the game would not launch as an Xbox exclusive like its predecessor, and its "multi-player game will be even better than it was the first time around". In terms of direction, Stern stated "we are doing our best to deliver a vision of grand global colonial warfare retelling the story of the American Revolution and the American Civil War in space. We imagined the next generation of immigrants moving out to the new frontier of an inhabitable planet."
"Rather than taking a traditional sci-fi approach to that we wanted to look at how that would happen practically, what the ships would look like and with machines that were designed for excavation and construction , demolition and working the land, and what happens when they are turned into instruments of war."
Respawn Entertainment CEO, Vince Zampella, expressed interest in an animated spin-off TV series but cost is an issue, "It would be very expensive. We are trying to find a way to tell a story in the worlds we want to be in and produce in the TV model.”
Titanfall 2 is expected to arrive sometime in the next fiscal year.
